Food intolerance occurs when the body lacks a particular enzyme to digest nutrients, nutrients are too abundant to be completely digested, or a particular nutrient cannot be properly digested, Common examples are lactose intolerance, FODPAM intolerance, or lactulose intolerance (side effect of laxatives). Food sensitivity, an understudied area, are immune-mediated reaction to some nutrients and these reactions do not always
- ccur in the same way when eating that particular nutrient.
Food allergy is a very specific immune system response involving either the immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibody or T-cells. Both are immune system cells that react to a particular food protein, such as milk protein.
